Heart Health

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US, claiming 1 in 5 lives, yet 80% of cases are preventable with early detection. This panel goes beyond basic cholesterol to include advanced markers like Lp(a) and ApoB that standard screenings often miss. Critical for anyone with family history of heart disease, men over 40, women over 50, or those with high stress, poor diet, or sedentary lifestyle. Catching cardiovascular risk factors early can add decades to your life.

Overview:

Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is the primary protein on the surface of all potentially atherogenic lipoprotein particles (LDL, VLDL, IDL, Lp(a)). Measuring ApoB provides a direct count of these particles, which is considered by many longevity experts to be a superior predictor of cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk compared to LDL-C alone, as it reflects the particle concentration driving atherosclerosis. Lowering ApoB to optimal levels is a key strategy in ASCVD prevention. Ranges assume no underlying medical conditions such as prior heart disease.
